JA3 TLS client fingerprint
ID ja3_fingerprint
This record is a draft: it has not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong. Do not rely on it for compliance decisions. Help improve it (see CONTRIBUTING.md).
Fingerprint of a TLS client, created at Salesforce in 2017: the MD5 hash of a string built from the ClientHello message (TLS version, cipher suites, extensions, elliptic curves and point formats, in decimal, with GREASE values left out), written as 32 lowercase hexadecimal digits. Threat intelligence feeds and network monitors such as Zeek and Suricata use it to recognize client software, including malware, regardless of IP address or domain. The value alone cannot be told apart from other MD5 hashes; MISP stores it as the ja3-fingerprint-md5 attribute.
